Has anyone ever got theres tested? I was thinking about it because i have noticed some weird patterns. I am like a sexual camel sometimes, but as soon as I get laid I have a really hi drive the following day. then it goes away for a while. Maybe its stress or being so damn busy with work and all?? |

Yep go get it checked. I was feeling tired and put on a few unexplained pounds and wasn't hitting the poontang as often as I used to. Had the blood test and it was about half what it should have been. I have been using the androgel now for a month and have already lost about 8 lbs and the mrs. couldn't be happier. Warning, androgel is $276 a month

I can offer some insite here. I was on Androgel (a testosterone supplement) for a while. Was getting divorced, depressed, no energy (although never had any trouble with the Captain), overweight. So, family doctor put me on a small prescription of Androgel. I'm 5'10". I use to weight 205 lbs. or so. Wasn't eating right. Almost 40 years old. Anyway, I just didn't have any energy. So, got my divorce behind me, started running, lifting weights, eating right, hooked up with a great woman..........basically just started taking care of myself. I'm now 180 lbs., in the best shape of my life, I'm off the Androgel, Testosterone levels are normal, have all sorts of energy, happy, in the best shape of my life. Getting my life back wasn't easy............but it was the only choice. Hope this helps. vmax84 |
Serioulsy though what are you guys talking about?
I accept the fact that I'm 11 years your junior, but I just can't foresee myself ever not diggin' some good poon. |
Why the needle? I take it daily, as a packet of gel that's rubbed on (shoulders, upper arms, chest area). It has an alcohol base, so it evaporates quickly. It was prescribed to me because it appeared that I was appearing to have too many periods of feeling "down"-not necessarily depressed, just always kind of flat. Once my doctor tested my testosterone levels, he saw that they were very low. He suggested the Androgel as a way to even out my moods a little more. Doesn't affect my moods as much as the anabolic steroids did back in the '70's, but that's a whole other story.

Over exercise, poor eating, lack of quality sleep will all lower test levels. Eliminate as many of these variables as possible to see first if in fact any one or combination is causing a decrease test level. But it does sound like a strong possiblility, esp one you break 30-35 years. Test can bring the kick back to life, like when younger, no doubt. Very easy energy boost- B-50 complex with extra c and zinc. Test is outstanding for your bodies recovery from any stress. Once on it though, esp when older, it will wack the HPTA, and you may prefer staying on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) for life. There are other drugs that can boost testosterone wo actually taking test. Getting the nads to produce test on their own is best if possible. Im mean this in all certainty-less test is less quality of life IMO.
